Does anyone know where I could find the Mod Game standards on the web? I have seen the UK one but it is brief and doesn't include eye colour, leg colour or colour markings in general! any help would be appreciated as I need to class 7 males and 9 females. They are bantam! I guess the Lg and Bant standard are the same?? |

Thanks! The UK mod game web site is very good but they have missed out on some of the key traits. I actually find mods very hard to class, I don't seem to have this trouble with any other breed! Prehaps mine are all very close in type? I am not saying they are good in type but it does make it hard to select the better ones. One thing I find hard is the heads! they look very different when dubbed and that snakey head look can sometimes be enhanced when dubbed. If I had a choice I wouldn't bother dubbing but I actually want to compete and un dubbed birds just don't get a fair go - Yet!! After seeing some of the UK birds I feel I have a way to go on thigh length and tightness of body. |

Sorry this took so long Male Characteristics Carriage - Upstanding, active, and alert. In the show-pen the bird should stand with a proud posing posture, the back sloping downwards towards the tail, showing plenty of "lift" as if reaching to its fullest height with the eye directly above the feet when posing. Type - Body short, back flat, front wide and tapering to the tail, shaped like a flat-iron. Breast well developed, evenly curved, broad and full. Belly small and tight. Shoulders prominent and carried well up. Wings short and strong, carried well up. Tail short,fine,closely whipped together, carried slightly above the level of the body, the sickles narrow, well pointed and only slightly curved. Head - Long, snaky and narrow between the eyes Beak long, gracefully curved and strong at the base Eyes well rounded, prominent, bold, bright and clear. Comb single, small, upright, of fine texture, and evenly serrated. Face smooth. Ear-lobes and wattles fine and small to match the comb. It is customary to dub Modern Game males, leaving the head and lower jaw smooth and free from ridges. Neck - Long, lean and slightly arched, fitted with short, narrow feathers, but thin at junction of body. Plumage - Short, hard and glossy with a minimum of fluff. Handling - Hard and firm. Legs and Feet - Legs long and well rounded. Thighs long, fine and muscular. Shanks long, straight, well rounded and free of feathers. Spurs fine, set low and firmly attached in adult males. Toes four, long, fine and straight, the fourth (or hind) toe straight out and flat on the ground, not downwards against the ball of the foot (or "duck footed") which is a disqualification Female Characteristics The general characteristics are similar to those of the male, allowing for the natural sexual differences. |

Black reds must have bright red eyes. Duckwings need to have red. |
